\description{
Change the value of a date input on the client
}
\details{
The input updater functions send a message to the client, telling it to
change the settings of an input object. The messages are collected and sent
after all the observers (including outputs) have finished running.

The syntax of these functions is similar to the functions that created the
inputs in the first place. For example, \code{\link{numericInput}()} and
\code{updateNumericInput()} take a similar set of arguments.

Any arguments with NULL values will be ignored; they will not result in any
changes to the input object on the client.

\dontrun{
shinyServer(function(input, output, session) {

  observe({
    # We'll use the input$controller variable multiple times, so save it as x
    # for convenience.
    x <- input$controller

    updateDateInput(session, "inDate",
      label = paste("Date label", x),
      value = paste("2013-04-", x, sep=""),
      min   = paste("2013-04-", x-1, sep=""),
      max   = paste("2013-04-", x+1, sep="")
    )
  })
})
